Need to fill in these gaps !

Great thread. Thank you for starting it. Amazing scales! Do you make your own scales from scratch or if not where do you get them?


Thanks yeah I make my own scales. Burl comes from all over the world. Stabilized and bookmatched then onto the blade. Still looking for some more of older mules and ...

Nah…just lay out the mule boxes without looking what steel, and put a block on each one :winking-tongue

My hardest thing is finding time with work lately.


I'm in the same boat ! I have many Mules in need of a handle but not much time to even enter the workshop.

But I'm about to finish ...

Yeah maybe completely rando and just go that route. Hard not to peek at the steel tho hahaha

Few special ones there… especially the M4 and the Damascus :hushed-face


Thanks, I am trying to fill in the gaps with the ones I missed. Hard to find a lot of these older mules in NIB condition, but hardest thing is pairing the steels up with the handle materials and mosaics. Will be a fun ...

I think I had more of these........ maybe around here somewhere. Anywho, firing up this old project again. These will be finished out with 1 of kind scales and mosaics. I have a box of very rare and unique blocks / scales I have also been collecting. Should be fun figuring out what scales should go ...

Thanks Kristi,

If that would make it more appealing to you, why not? Its a second and I think the whole idea is to have fun with the blade and experience a new type of steel. You could hand sand the blade to a finish you like or blue the blade or put some sort of coating on the blade if you wanted. You could even ...

I would say that you ask him to make it right in whatever way you think is fair, and then if he doesnt want to comply I would take pics of the knife and what you're saying is wrong and post it on whatever board you bought it from along with the original post of his ad selling and all of his ...

Heres a couple pics of one (little over 6" OAL) that I finished before x-mas. Maple burl with hidden pins, red liners, 7-8 oz dyed hand stitched sheath. Steel is AUS8 -Larry

Potterma,
Nice contrast with those colors. I really like that orange and black. Nice job.... Larry

ragweedforge.com He sells some nice blades. Once inside go to his blade catalogue. Heres 2 that I liked made by Helle.

"Steinbit". It is just over 6", thin (just .087" at the base) and flexible, $16.50
Th "Hellefisk". It is about 5" and a little stiffer in the Norwegian style (about .090" at the ...

Don Cheadle's movie "Traitor" has him using a spyderco to cut some pencils for use in making bombs. Anyways, just thought I'd throw that out there, since this thread kind of reminded of it.

Shawn,
That is the nicest set of muley scales I've seen so far...hands down. Book matched quilted maple, Excellent choice, hard to beat a 3D offering from mother nature !!!! Nice accents with the mosaics and liner. Those scales stabilized or is there another finish on there? Your pics turned out ...

Thanks for the info....I will definately check those out.

Larry

Gotta say that I am most impressed with fit an finish on this folder. It just fits and I love the solid lock up and feel of this one, almost fools you into thinking you have fixed blade your hand. Money well spent. What other spydies are like this?

Griz what kind of scales are you interested in? Send me an email. Larry

I would be interested depending on the steel used. That inlay is classic, with some exotic materials, and for all that I would be willing to pay more.
